    Things to note: St Andrew's, Chesterton has a connection to the family of Olaudah Equiano (1745-97) who experienced enslavement and secured his freedom to become a celebrated author and campaigner against the transatlantic trade in enslaved human beings in 18th-century England. Equiano’s wife, Susanna Cullen, was from Cambridgeshire. It is believed the children lived in Chesterton after the death of their parents, and were brought to worship at St Andrew’s Church. Anna Maria died young and is buried in St Andrew’s churchyard. The exact location of her grave was rediscovered in 2025, close to the memorial plaque on the North Wall of St Andrew’s Church.
